STOCKTON - A 14-year-old boy was nearly run over and shot Wednesday while walking in south Stockton, police said.

The boy was crossing the street near South Airport Way and East Eighth Street just south of Williams Brotherhood Park when he noticed a light green four-door Buick speeding toward him, authorities said. The boy jumped onto the sidewalk to avoid being struck by the Buick, police said.

As the vehicle passed by, a rear passenger leaned out of the window and fired four shots at the boy before fleeing west on East Eighth Street, officers said. The boy was not hurt, authorities said.

The shooter was described as a black boy 15 to 16 years old standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds with black, collar-length hair and a black hooded sweatshirt, police said.

TRACY - A FedEx cargo plane made an emergency landing Thursday morning in a muddy field near Corral Hollow and Linne roads in Tracy, according to the Tracy Press.

The Cessna 208 Caravan was flying from Oakland to Visalia when the pilot reported engine trouble about 8:45 a.m., Cpl. Dan Pasquale of the Tracy Police Department told the newspaper. The pilot attempted to land at Tracy Airport, but the engine failed, forcing her to glide under a set of power lines before touching down in the field, the report said.

The plane landed safely and came to rest about 200 yards from Linne Road, according to the newspaper. The pilot was uninjured.
